　　Mauve: Oh, it was great. It was cool.

　　Marion: That must have been exciting.

　　Mauve: Oh, it was great. It was brilliant. It was so professional.

　　Marion: Yeah. What was the show?

　　Mauve: It was really good. It was called, it was called "Wonderful Town!" I had never heard of it before but we just cued and got tickets during the day and whatever we could get we just went to see it. Yeah, but it was really, it was a comedy as well. It was really funny, and there was dance. It was very good.

　　Marion: Mm, yeah, so would you go back to New York?

　　Mauve: Yeah, I would, definitely. Um, it's funny though, like after I spent a week there, and after the week I feel I really know it very well, you know, we did a lot of walking, went to all the different districts, Chinatown, So-Ho, Greenwich Village, and Central Park kind of, it's very easy to find your way around as well.

　　Marion: All right. Yeah, that's good. With the grid system, which Dublin doesn't have. You know Dublin for a tourists it's probably harder to find their way around. It's not as signposted or well signaled. Not as well laid out kind of thing.

　　Marion: Cool. Thanks Mauve.
